Grant’s Pass, Oregon– April 2022– For most of the past decade, the concept of a “Chainsaw” from Noveske meant one thing. Now that thing means a new thing while the old thing has a new name.
The company has long marketed what they called “Chainsaw” parts, which was Noveske’s name for cosmetic blems such as machining marks, pockmarks, and other small imperfections. None of these blemishes impacted functionality, they just weren’t pretty. Other makers such as Primary Weapons Systems– who calls their program Cannon Parts– have done the same thing.

Now, Noveske says they are calling such blem items their “B-Line.”
But what about the Chainsaw name?
Noveske says:
“Chainsaw is now Noveske’s forged product offering, based on a hybrid of our Gen 1 and Gen 4 designs. We have modified the basic M4 look to match our Gen 4 aesthetic of intentional lines / smooth fit.
“With this redesign, we created an entirely new upper forging, alongside updating some components to slim the overall cost down; maintaining all quality parts that our rifles are known for!”
Availability is sometime this summer. Stay tuned.
